Gatebelysning Kattem Gangvei Lisbeth Nypans Veg - se status

Ny belysning for gang- og sykkelvei

The project involves installing new street lighting along the pedestrian and bicycle path between bus stops on Lisbeth Nypans veg in Kattem. This initiative is part of Miljøpakken's ongoing efforts since 2014 to upgrade shortcuts and walking paths in Trondheim to encourage walking and cycling over car usage. The new lighting aims to enhance safety and improve the overall experience for residents using the path, especially during the darker winter months when existing lighting is insufficient.

Innbyggerne støtter lysoppgradering

Residents in the Kattem area have expressed support for the lighting upgrade, noting that current lighting along Lisbeth Nypans veg is too dim during winter, making the path less inviting and potentially hazardous, particularly on icy days. However, some concerns remain about other infrastructure issues, such as the need to extend the pedestrian path from the parking area by Prix to Tunnelvegen and improve the brightness of existing streetlights. The project seeks to address these concerns by providing adequate illumination to increase security and comfort for pedestrians and cyclists.

Skadet bru påvirker snørydding

A complicating factor is the damaged pedestrian bridge near Prix, which was struck by a truck during the summer, causing it to be closed to all vehicles including maintenance and snow clearing equipment. This has raised questions about how snow removal and de-icing will be managed during winter. Trondheim Bydrift is currently coordinating with contractors to implement hand-spreading of salt and snow clearing until a longer-term solution is established, ensuring the path remains usable despite the bridge closure.
